notes reviewed Thomas the Tank Engine by Reverend W. Awdry (The Railway Series, #2)
Thomas is a fussy, cheeky little tank engine whom we meet here for the first …
-
2 stars
- unlikeable characters. example: Thomas enjoys scaring other engines and "then he would laugh rudely and run away to find some more".
- moralistic, in an annoying way. the lessons feel forced and heavy-handed
- themes of revenge, hubris, ego, comeuppance, impatience
